I have both DoW1 and 2 plus all the expansions.
I got DoW2 most recently and although I have played through and completed two of the campaigns I have to say it left me somewhat bored by the end. I found every mission to be basically exactly the same and the end of mission bosses were just plain stupid. They had no reason to be so massively more powerful than your own Marines, yet they had like 20 - 100 times the health of your Force Commander or worse. I found them very frustrating because that's just the typical "noob" method of making an enemy hard to defeat. I also found the unit options a bit dull and I didn't like the non-codex unit sizes. Three man space marine squads? Not right.
I have to say DoW1 was the better game IMHO.
